Happy 2025!
Happy New Year, everyone.
In honor of the Year of the Snake...
...though we don’t really have anything special planned (^^;), this year we’ll continue to introduce products that are uniquely Kubokan and sure to get you excited, so please stay tuned.
To kick off the new year, we’d like to introduce Gard Bags cases.
We shared a sneak peek on social media, and we’ve already received many inquiries from customers.
First, take a look at the sheer volume here.

Is this confiscated goods or something?
Combined with the lighting, it really does look way too suspicious (lol).
And just like that, dozens… no, hundreds of these cases have arrived in Shin-Okubo!
And a few days later, every model went on a massive sale! 👏👏👏

We received a wide variety of colors for the now-classic Elite Series triple and double cases, as well as the Tp&Flg Double case—which can even hold large flugelhorns like the Kurtwa.
We also received a large shipment of “Taco Inserts”—those magical items that let you fit even more instruments into a triple case.
We still have plenty in stock, so please check them out here!
...It might seem like I’m wrapping things up, but what I really wanted to introduce this time is this.

It’s Guard Bags’ new product: a fiberglass double case!
In other words, “a case has been created that combines the sturdiness of a hard case with the convenience of being able to store sheet music and small accessories!”
You’d think there’d be plenty of options for this type of case, but in reality, Marcus Bona is pretty much the only choice.
I think we’ve finally created a fantastic case that can rival it.
I took a closer look at what makes this case so appealing on X, so please check it out below ↓↓

So, to kick off the new year, here’s a look at Guard Bags ⭐️
I already have so many things I want to do and achieve this year... I’m still trying to figure out where to start. We look forward to seeing you in the store!
We’ll be open for the New Year starting Saturday, January 4, at 1:00 PM
